• Are you inundated by requests to “Chip In” to organizations and candidates? 

  • Not sure where and how to invest your money strategically to help get out the vote in key states and districts?

  • Questioning which candidates are truly competitive and whether they actually need more donations? 

  • Can’t decide between supporting candidates or organizations? We have a fundraiser for each!


LET US HELP! IndiMarin does the research and leg work to determine the most effective donation strategy and provides ActBlue links that will split your donation (small or large) between a range of strategically impactful organizations and candidates.


GUIDELINES TO INCREASE YOUR EFFECTIVENESS: As you decide on the donation options below, keep in mind these general guidelines for effective political giving:

  • GIVE EARLY.  Now is the time when organizations and candidates are hiring staff, expanding offices, and planning the scope of their voter outreach.  

  • GIVE MONTHLY. Monthly donations allow organizations and candidates to plan their budgets.

  • GIVE ANY AMOUNT.  No donation is too small.  Organizations and candidates gain credibility with large donors by citing how many individual donors they have.


OUR TWO DONATION CAMPAIGNS: IndiMarin recommends these two donation campaigns at this stage of the election cycle. Pick one or both and know your money is being well spent.

1. DONATE TO THE PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS WHICH SUPPORT OUR WRITING, PHONING, AND CANVASSING CAMPAIGNS

  • Winning campaigns are dependent on partners to reach voters. This fundraiser supports the three major organizations that we use for our postcarding (Activate America), phonebanking (California Democratic Party), and canvassing (Bay Area Coalition). This last group provides stipends for canvassers, which increases conversations with voters in the hard-to-reach Central Valley districts. IndiMarin has been working with these groups for several years and are confident every dollar will be used effectively. Your donation below would be evenly split between them.

2. DONATE TO THREE DEMS RUNNING IN SWING DISTRICTS THAT CAN WIN US BACK THE HOUSE.

  • Candidate campaigns are a major source of funding in winning races. They get optimal rates and times for advertising and media buys that outside organizations cannot receive. More staff and more field offices mean more voters are contacted. This fundraiser supports candidates in Senate and CA House races that are rated a “toss up,” and are thereby the most competitive races in the country. We use professional ratings groups to identify these races. Our candidates also have less cash on hand than their opponents. We use quarterly Federal Election Commission candidate financial filings to determine comparative need. 

  • Currently, there are three California House candidates that meet our criteria. Democratic Senate candidates who have advanced to the general election have a significant fundraising advantage over their challenger. Many Senate primaries are yet to be held and we will likely add Senate candidates in the coming months.
